Lady Melisandre of Asshai is a priestess of R'hllor in service to Stannis Baratheon. Melisandre has prophetic powers that give her partial knowledge of future events. Unlike many other people in Westeros with access to prophecy, Melisandre has absolute faith in her own interpretation. She believes that Stannis is the messianic figure of R'hllor prophecy called Azor Ahai. She counsels him so that he can gain the necessary power to fight the Great Other, the enemy of R'hllor.

Melisandre is both beautiful and frightening so I decided to do a makup look based on her and the cult of R'hllor. I did not go for the classic red hair and red contacts but tried to shape my face a little unnatural and add some rhinestones for some extra fiery sparkle.

Summer keeps us waiting, although July is almost over. Temperatures are reasonably low for this time of the year, which I don't mind at all. I enjoy my holidays without sweating and hiding from the sun. Here are my July favourites.

When I'm on vacation I prefer to use tinted moisturizer and cream blushes instead of regular full coverage foundation and powder blush. I chose the UD blush because of the name (everyone needs a fetish, right?) and the colour is surprisingly wearable and gives an amazing summer glow without using bronzer.

Night gathers,and now my watch begins.It shall not end until my death.I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.I shall live and die at my post.I am the sword in the darkness.I am the watcher on the walls.I am the fire that burns against the cold,the light that brings the dawn,the horn that wakes the sleepers,the shield that guards the realms of men.I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,for this night and all the nights to come.

Lately I spend my days reading George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice. So I decided to do some looks based on the novels starting with the Night's Watch. Unfortunately I can't really join the Night's Watch because I'm female but I could not resist taking the black and pretend to be on the Wall.

In one of these lonely Orkney IslesThere dwelled a maiden fair.Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blueShe had yellow curling hair.Which caught the eye and then the heartOf one who could never beA lover of so true a maidOr fair a form as she.

Standing Stones of the Orkney IslesGazing out to seaStanding Stones of the Orkney IslesBring my love to me.

The Brides of Khaine, or Witch Elves, are one of the major powers in Druchii society. They run the Temples of Khaine, where they are responsible for keeping the Cauldrons of Blood filled with the fresh blood of sacrificial victims. When the Dark Elves go to war, a cadre of Witch Elves accompanies the army, eager to prove themselves in the eyes of their god. For them the battlefield is just another temple of Khaine, and the screams of the dying are praises sung in honor of the bloody-handed god. The Witch Elves are led by Hellebron, though many still owe loyalty to Morathi.

Über mich

To describe myself is challenging. I would say angel to some, demon to others. I'm happily married to Merlin and mother of a beautiful baby girl. I live together with them, my cat Selina and my tomcat Rasputin in Wiener Neustadt. My friends would describe me as outgoing, loyal and with a great sense of (black) humor. I love to spend as much time as possible with my friends. A great day for me starts with a mug of black coffee and ends with kissing my husband and my child goodnight.
